Always Think Positive

There are a lot of roadblocks to success
None of them should include stress
Always keep a open mind and stay positive
Keep away from drama and any thing negative
Also believe in you, do not entertain self-doubt
Doubt makes you susceptible to the critical voices inside and out
Don't let doubt stop you in your tracks. 
Stay motivated and keep those negative thoughts in check
Even when life's storms come pray for sunshine
The Jesus hears you, he is not hard to fine
Images and media that tell us who we should be and could be
But I’m proud and pleased the way that God made me
Some of us are so influenced by external forces 
Also many of us have a hard time expressing our true selves by listening to those harmful 
inner voices
But you need to have conviction inside your soul to express who you truly are
In that dark midnight sky be that shining bright star
Start getting real about how you feel about your life.
To God surrender your problems, worries, and strife
Give yourself permission to put yourself first.
Just pray and read a bible verse

The most important human endeavor is the striving for morality in our actions. Our inner 
balance, and even our very existence depends on it. Only morality in our actions can give 
beauty and dignity to our lives. -Albert Einstein

Great write, Jeffrey, a positive outlook in life is a must in today's world of uncertainty. You also have a quote by one of my heros, Albert Einstein. Einstein believed in the relativity of all things, thus God in the process. Sincerely, Moses
